“Why must I live under the tyranny of a cult bent on perverting the light’s sacred doctrine into something unclean and impure? And at what cost to whom? To sit here, waiting for him, my dear brother… Whom of which I barely remember… Of whom I know truthfully I cannot trust?” — BloodBound, pg. 17 … Continue reading Character Profile: Amarisa Linolm, Princess of Argania
“The fall of the protectors. Surely that’s why you have come, isn’t it? Because of the forces that have been unleashed on your world — our world.” Emma blew out a breath. “I see the Light Wings have chosen you as their savior. I’m not surprised — how do we look so much alike?” — … Continue reading Character Profile: Emma Sarina, High Priestess of Remena Citadel
What does one stand to lose, falling into tides where they must choose?When the tests of our youth are more than enough to struggle through...How does one find there way within such a world? A dangerous place; one far from truth.To act and to fail;That'll leave you with nothing.To wait and to gain; Oh, that'll … Continue reading Haunted
Introspection...Staring into my own reflection,I don't think I've ever felt so lost.My mind obsessing over every loss.The cost of my ambition,The sacrifice of my life's position.What is it that I seek?Is it power or something meek?Finding the words to speak is in no way easy.Either way, no one understands me.I've lost so much,Friends, family, love … Continue reading Introspection
Listening to these words within,My spirit calls like the wind,Whistling to me as I give in. I grasp onto this innate wisdom,And I find my heart ascending,Accepting a life beyond my freedom,A life so holy, my everlasting story,Living for the light's glory. There is purpose in what it calls for,Asking that I do something more.I … Continue reading A Heart So Holy

There was once a time where I felt free;When I was climbing towards this awesome peak.The world was bright as I moved closer, towards this light.My future had never seemed so right. But then something changed;And I felt this sting of something strange,Of something I could not take, the pain of my own heartbreak. Take … Continue reading Take Me Back
I lost a piece of myself,Searching for something nearby.I lost a part of who I was,Looking for something by my side. I wallowed in the Darkness,Along an obscured path.Malign from the blindside,I denied the comfort of the Light. I let the Darkness invade my mind.And now, the Light has left me;I’m lost in a space … Continue reading A Loss of Self
Lost in thought, I foresee past the trees;Into times, that could not be.These dreams, dreams within me, could they be something?Could they possibly be the reality in which I seek? In the distance, I see you;A distant dream.A reality for you; a reality for me.A promise to keep.A light lost with time,Echoes; echoes through the night.Through this hole you left; left behind.Can you hear it now?Moving through … Continue reading Echoes of a Dream
So Long By Mark A. Alvarez II So long, I have waited for your love. So long, I have waited for you. When I have lost my light, What am I to do? All I feel is emptiness, In the embrace of this darkness. Is it my fate to know such grace, Though I cannot see … Continue reading So Long
